RAB is a backup program featuring backups to removable
media and to CDR(W). Here, a removable medium may be
anything like a DVD RAM, a MO medium or even a partition
on another hard drive.
RAB supports full backups and
incremental backups configurable on a per directory
basis. Most of RAB's functionality is
implemented by a shared library, so it is easy to create
customized backup applications for your personal system.

RAB is designed to save user files on a personal
system with one or a small number of users. All backups will
be saved as single files on normal filesystems, so you will
have comfortable and uncomplicated access to all your
precious files. A simple
example using rab is
contained in the RAB manual.

The current version is RAB 0.5.
To download a copy of rab-0.5.tar.gz, please use the links on the
